The short answer is: members will learn about computer science concepts, and just as importantly, they'll learn that they have a community in the computer science space!
To accommodate students of a wide range of ages and experience in computer science, the Girls Who Code curriculum is divided into two programs: 3rd-5th grade and 6th-12th grade. Our curricula include activities for students with no computer science experience all the way up to college-level concepts.
Throughout the Club, all members will:
- Learn to see themselves as computer scientists.
- Gain exposure to project management and problem solving techniques.
- Build sisterhood in a safe and supportive environment of peers and role models.
- Learn about other women and non-binary identifying professionals in tech around the world.
- Learn the foundational computer science concepts that form the basis for all programming languages.
- 3rd-5th grade Clubs only: Complete unplugged or plugged challenges in Scratch after reading each chapter in our non-fiction book, Learn to Code and Change the World, or fiction book, the Friendship Code.
- 6th-12th grade Clubs only: Learn a variety of programming languages, including Scratch, Swift, Python, and Javascript. Our Girls Who Code Projects offer a range of difficulty for beginner programmers who have little to no experience programming to more advanced learners who will engage in more advanced topics like data structures.
